Jack and Will is my comfort fic. Creating a framework where I can continue to write vignettes was brilliant. Jack being the wealthier, he would have been encouraged to to submit a plea bargin wherein he blamed Will for everything and he got off scot-free. However, Jack being Jewish means that the police are unlikely to give him this option, and his father's testimony will probbly be enough to send them both down. I need more research to suggest how long for; a decade or so would allow me to give it a nice happy ending (oh look, homosexuality has been legalised in the meantime!) but is pretty improbable. Assuming they can't afford a fine, it's probably six months to a year each.
I have a Word file into which I copied every news report that looked vaguely relevant from 1950 to 1967, including the watershed case that led to the legalisation. What I really need are court transcripts, but I might use the BBC docudrama about the legalisation, since they used transcripts ^_^
